Hi everyone,
In preparation for the upcoming release, I have hosted a Virtualbox
image on our site.
It is basic, and lacks certain things, but is more for you to check out
and test.  Expect things not to function completely how you want them
too.... but you can use it as a base to test out different pacakges and
become familiar with.  You can also use it to safely test the new
version of JWM and jwm-settings-manager

Speaking of JWM, I came across a post about memory consumtion  here is a
chart:

tl;dr JWM = 3 LXDE = 36
another post
http://l3net.wordpress.com/2013/05/07/ubuntu-desktop-memory-comparison/
rates LXDE on Ubuntu as 184 while running.
So far in my limited testing I have gotten a pretty consistent 78-90MB
I know this is more than we wanted, but it is a start.
I am building a machine from the mini.iso for 14.04 right now to test
things and find out what I can about trimming things down a bit  Using
things to make everything work nicely adds to the overall... so it is a
bit hard.  The good news is my program isn't a memory hog...  It runs in
about 2MB.
Which is fortunate for ToriOS users.  The real test will be on hardware
with around 128 (or less)

Does anyone have a 32bit computer with 128MB Ram?

Thanks for all your hard work everyone!!

Oh... the link :)
